Parenting Seminar Program
Raising children is truly satisfying and rewarding, but it is also one of the most confusing and frustrating things. The joy of having children makes all parents yearn for a better parenting role, but they also make them look back on themselves as parents unprepared. Family Alive provides educational programs on a number of topics related to parenting with the goal of helping parents become mature through their parenting experience while helping their children grow.
How to Operate
Through seminars or regular small group workshops, basic information and knowledge on parenting-related topics are delivered and parenting skills applicable to each family situation are trained. Along with lectures including video materials, participating parents will have the opportunity to share and listen to each other’s parenting stories, and through this, they will learn practical and specific application methods for each topic.

Roles of Parents
Parents are the people who help their children grow. However, if parents do not properly understand their roles in the process of bringing up their children, they will hinder them growing instead of helping them grow. This course helps parents have a good understanding of their roles.
Purpose of Raising Children
What does successful parenting look like? What is the ultimate purpose of raising our children? Whether clearly or vaguely, every parent has an answer to this question in mind. And it affects the decisions they make in their day-to-day parenting. A positive and clear purpose will guide you through the chaos and fears you encounter along the way and help your child develop holistically.
Learning Your Child's Love Language
All parents love their children, but many children in the world are frustrated because of the feeling of being unloved. Many parents, even though they do their best for their children, do not know how to convey their love to their children so that they can feel it. Learning your child’s love language will help you express your love more effectively. Parents also need to recognize that their children have different thoughts, feelings, ways of expressing love than their parents.
Positive Discipline
The peace in the home is often disrupted by teenagers who increasingly demand more freedom and children who do not keep their promises or disobey their parents. Deciding how much to tighten or how much to loosen is not an easy task for every parent. Raising a child is a difficult process that requires a delicate balance between respect and discipline for the child. Parents who know the difference between discipline and punishment and set proper boundaries for their children can help their children grow.
Effective Communication and Conflict Resolution
Effective communication in parent-child relationship is an important means of conveying love and a channel for proper discipline. Parents who are accustomed to one-way communication cannot make close relationship with their children and it becomes difficult to positively influence their children. If you can empathize with the thoughts and feelings of your children and learn how to communicate your thoughts and feelings to your children in a proper way by learning some communication skills, you can resolve conflicts with your children.
Career Guidance for your child
Many parents focus on managing their children’s grades, believing that entering a university is the only way to guide careers. But your child’s career path isn’t all about getting a diploma from a prestigious university or a lucrative job. To help children follow their talents and inner passions to live a meaningful life, we need to be able to observe and encourage their uniqueness. The process of guiding your child’s career involves developing an eye for your child’s potential and possibility so that they can live a life of challenge while pursuing their dreams throughout their lives.
Dealing with Negative Emotions
When children pour out anger towards their parents, it causes deep frustration and pain for parents. It would be even more discouraging for those who sacrificed a lot and did their best for their children. But anger is an unavoidable part of life. Contrary to what many parents think, anger itself is normal. The problematic part is how anger is expressed. This course helps parents learn the skills to handle their own anger properly, and then helps them develop appropriate approaches based on the type and stage of their child’s anger.
Understanding Your Youth
Adolescence is a period of many changes, and children grow rapidly during this period of change. Understanding what your children are going through and in what ways they are maturing can make your relationship with them much more positive.
Course for Prospective Parent
Just like there are many prospective couples who make a lot of preparations for their wedding but do not prepare for their marriage, most of parents prepare a lot of baby items for their new baby, but do not know what the child really needs. It is very important for parents to know that babies are born with emotional as well as physical needs since the first two years of life determines the emotional health for the rest of their lives.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
(1 JOHN 4:11)
